A Hurdle For Squirtle (421)

A Hurdle For Squirtle

It's time for the Saffron City Pokémon Contest. May is entering with her Squirtle & Combusken, Harley is entering with Cacturne & Ariados and Jessie is entering with Cacnea. The battles will be tough but will May be able to beat Harley and earn her first Kanto Ribbon?

Seen the pictures, and that is NOT what I expected to happen! Then again, it never is....

Anyway, Ariados beats Wobbufet, Squirtle beats a Crobat I think, hard to tell from the pictures, and then Squirtle beats Ariados in the final, earning May her first ribbon. Woop-de-doo. Hopefully next time, Harley will use Banette instead of Cacturne.

Are they ever going to allow the villian to win. They need to give the villians some glory occassionaly

Breezy is my little sister. Anyone who messes with her has to answer to me!My Twin's are Trillian and Sakara

Grr...I was seriously praying for Haruka to lose this one, as a lesson to never be so naive to take Harley's advice again, Besdies, a still-young Squirtle beating up a Crobat? Even with a new moveset, it doesn't seem very feasable. It's like Super Skitty all over again. Now we can call it Mutant Ninja Squirtle (Oh God...that was horrible) or something.

whatever the writers are on I want it! a squirtle beating a crobat 0.o

<.< >.> I'm still unsure whether I should say, "It was quite awful" or, "Disregarding the result of the Contest, it was good". Meh, I'll go for the latter.
The music was great as usual. They played the Regi music, the E4 theme, the Kanto Gym Battle theme and some other pieces from the..sixth movie, I think. Kewl.

The animation was very good, although...has everyone forgotten how to draw Harley? I mean, they didn't really do any mistakes regarding his looks or anything, but he looked quite off sometimes.

I found it interesting that May let Squirtle out of its Pokéball and let it watch Combusken's appeal. Speaking of which, the appeal was nice and really original. The best appeal was Jessie and Cacnea's of course, but Combusken's was the coolest :P

Jessie ...surely was the best part of the episode. Even Lilian was crying when she saw her and Cacnea hugging each other, and everyone was all, "Love and Piece da!!" XD

Wobbuffet vs. Ariados sure was interesting too, as at first, neither of them made a move...well, that is, until Lilian gave them a yellow card and their points were halved.
After that, Harley's Ariados just used String Shot and let Wobbuffet dance like a puppet...and, OMG, Harley danced too!!!! <3 <3 <3

Ah well.. and then..Ariados vs. Squirtle. Actually, from the looks of how it went, it was interesting, I admit.
It's just that, as many others already said, I hate how they make Harley look so weak in his battles. Really, Brock still called him a, "formidable rival" in this ep, but Harley has never won a battle against May. His appeals are always stunning, but when it comes to battles, his performances are almost ridiculous. Is it really that hard to make him win for once?

Note: Please only reply to infraction PMs if you 1) have follow-up questions, or 2) seriously intend to contest the infraction, instead of merely complaining about or making fun of it, providing no elaborate counterarguments whatsoever. While I appreciate apologies or promises that "it won't happen again" and the like, they too fulfill no purpose except for cluttering up my inbox. An honest effort to avoid further rule-breaking is worth much more than a one-line PM saying you're sorry anyway. Thanks!

It's offical. I hate Squirtle. Another cheap uber to make May a lot more powerful than she really is. She's now worse than the trainers of the day. The Big Al gives the Kanto Contest Challegne two thumbs down.

Some people don't think it's funny that Exit 69 gets off on Big Beaver.
